Researcher Workshop 2025 💛 This week we’re proud to be bringing together more than 100 researchers from our Centres of Excellence and Funded Initiatives to share discoveries, spark collaborations and explore. A huge thank you to our keynote speakers, Dr Michelle Monje (Stanford University) and Mr Richard Mair (University of Cambridge), and to all our researchers driving progress towards a cure. This year’s workshop also includes a special Walk of Hope through York! One in three people in the UK knows someone affected by a brain tumour. Every discovery brings us closer to changing that.
